For its part, RIM has so far said little beyond the fact that it is prepared to support the Indian security services' need for "lawful access".

RIM has also offered to "lead an industry forum focused on supporting the lawful access needs of law enforcement agencies" working closely in conjunction with competing telecoms firms and the Indian government to develop "policies and processes aimed at preventing the misuse of strong encryption technologies".

Additionally, RIM has also claimed that "singling out and banning" Blackberry would be "ineffective and counter-productive."
